A couple of wet and windy days are in store for Ireland with some areas facing "thundery showers".
Met Eireann is predicting widespread light rain early on Thursday but the evening will be more clear with some sunny spells.
A spokesman said: "Starting off rather cloudy this morning with outbreaks of light showery rain in the north and west spreading to all areas.
"Rainfall amounts will be small however, and some parts of the southeast may stay dry.
"Brightening up later this afternoon with a few sunny spells by evening as showers become isolated.
"Highest temperatures of 13 to 16 degrees, coolest in the north and west due to a moderate northwest wind, which will be fresh and gusty near coasts."
